Shruthi Yasothan (Year 10) is seeking sponsorship in her bid to raise funds for the Little Princess Trust.

She has been growing her hair for several years and plans to have it cut so that the charity can turn her tresses into wigs for youngsters who have lost their hair as a result of cancer or other illnesses.

Shruthi hopes to raise £250 for the Little Princess Trust before she has her hair cut.

Shruthi said: “One of my cousins developed leukaemia when she was just seven years old. I was two or three years older than her, but she fought through it like a warrior and it was really inspirational.

“My cousin lost all of her hair and it made me realise even though I loved my long hair, someone else was more deserving of it.

“I’ve been growing it for a long time and it’s now down to my waist, so now it’s a good length for me to have it cut. I’ll be giving the hair and all the money raised to the Little Princess Trust, for them to make into wigs for little children.”
